	AC. NO. 6517 2006-12-06	MARCOS V. PRIETO v. ATTY. OSCAR B. CORPUZ CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
In Retuya v. Gorduiz,[6] respondent-lawyer was suspended for six (6) months for filing a groundless suit against a former client in order to harass and embarrass her. In the case of Arnaldo v. Suarin,[7] complainant Atty. Arnaldo was fined P5,000.00 for filing frivolous complaint. In this case, which we find analogous to Arnaldo, we hold that a fine of P5,000.00 will suffice.

In Retuya v. Gorduiz,[37] respondent-lawyer was suspended for six (6) months for filing a groundless suit against a former client in order to harass and embarrass her. In this case, we find the fine of P5,000.00, as recommended by OCA, commensurate under the circumstances.
